Steve Allen is a native of the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor MI area. Painting and wallpapering is his main occupation and he has had his own business, Allen Painting & Wallpapering, for 28 years.
Three years ago, he decided to put paint and brush to canvas and found a new joy in life. Steve spent every summer of his childhood on Beaver Island, MI where his family owned a resort. The island has provided inspiration for much of his art work. It also happened to be the place where he met hs wife, Karen, to whom he has been married for 33 years. His daughter, Stephanie, lives in Columbus OH and his son, Bennett, is based in Baltimore, MD.
The name "Reno" under which he paints is Steve's childhood nick-name he inherited from the former Tonight Show host, Steve[a-reno] Allen.
